    Lake Pleasant RV Park welcomes pets under 25 pounds with breed restrictions that help maintain the park's quiet atmosphere. Located in Bothell, this well-maintained RV park features full hookups, clean facilities, and walking trails around a central pond where resident ducks and geese create a natural setting. Sites include paved, level spots with privacy hedges between them, providing separation for pets and their owners. North Sound Recreational Vehicle Park also accepts pets but maintains a two-pet maximum policy with the same 25-pound weight limit. Both parks offer easy access to walking areas, though Lake Pleasant provides more extensive trails for exercising dogs. The grounds are kept clean and the staff remains attentive to maintenance, creating a pleasant environment for both pets and their owners.

    Most pet owners appreciate the short hiking paths around Lake Pleasant's perimeter, offering additional exercise opportunities beyond standard walks around the park roads. The trails provide a natural setting within an otherwise urban location, making daily pet routines more enjoyable. Safeway across the street from Lake Pleasant allows for easy pet supply runs when needed. For those traveling to Seattle with pets, these parks offer practical options without having to venture far from urban amenities. The naturally pretty, low-key atmosphere at North Sound RV Park provides a drama-free environment with reasonable standards that create a pleasant extended stay for pets and their owners. Both parks maintain clean grounds with trash service, ensuring pet waste can be properly disposed of during your stay.

      Lake Pleasant RV Park

      Best option near seattle

      There aren’t many rv parks that are close (35ish mins) to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap ($1 wash), maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds, full hook ups, and cute (short) hiking paths surrounding the park. The lake is more of a murky pond and the geese are happy residents here so expect a lot of goose poop at any spot near the water. There’s also no dog park.

      Evergreen Coho SKP Park

      For Escapee members only

      Wonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets. 

      We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all. 

      Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.

      Rainbows End RV Park

      Good RV park near Sequim, Port Angeles, Olympic National Park

      I’ve stayed at Rainbow’s End twice. Both times were in their overflow camping area, which are two spots with water and electric only, under some trees which made for comfortable shade. The staff at the park are nice and professional, the facilities are always clean, and there is a large dog park (it has a somewhat short fence, perfect for my small dogs but be careful with bigger animals). Lots of people live at Rainbow’s end full time. It’s very clean and well maintained. You do get some road noise from the US 101, but it’s not too noticeable. If you aren’t taking advantage of water and electric hookups, it could be a little expensive.

      Issaquah Village RV Park

      Parking lot feels

      This camp ground is not ideal if you have dogs. There is not much grass, in fact you have to go outside the park and across the street to hear compliant pet owner. We also found the electric box to be a little wonky. They office staff did have an adapter which help. It was very quiet and clean just not the most attractive campground.

      Holiday Park Military - Lewis McChord Base

      NW Adventure Center

      Excellent location for those with military access to the base - active duty, retired or family. 30/50 amp hookups. Beautiful views of American Lake. Pet friendly.

      Jim Creek Wilderness Recreation Area

      Spacious sites, great price, lots of activities

      The prices for everything is amazing! The campsites are spacious and run along the creek! There are tent pads that make the ground not so hard under your tent. A table, grill and campfire ring at every site. The cabins are very nice! And are spacious as well. Have a porch swing, campfire ring, table and grill outside. Most cabins have an electric heater and a heat stove inside. The heat stove heats up the entire cabin very well!! They provide trash cans and bags and a broom to help keep the dirt cleaned up!

      The bathrooms are very nice and clean. And they have firewood for sale on site. There is an attendant that will be there after work hours for people who are arriving late to get you checked in and answer questions you have. There are a couple of hiking trails, twin lakes, boats, canoes, and bikes to rent on site. There is also an enclosed dog park on site. There are tent sites, cabins, rv sites and even little apartments to rent for your stay. Great place and only 25 miles from town!

      Seal Rock Campground

      Seal Rock campground

      Seal Rock campground is on the Hood canal side of the Olympic peninsula in Washington state. It's actually the second time we camped there, this time on July 3rd and 4th. We expected it to be overcrowded and it was not the case, though a bit more on the 4th. Very nice campground with direct access to a small beach and a gorgeous view. Shellfish can be harvested on the beach. Pets are not allowed on the beach but there are plenty of trails where they can be taken. There is a charming little boardwalk interpretive trail along the water. All campsites are in wooded areas, including those on the lower loop along the water. There are flush toilets and water and a camp host. Fee is 18 dollars for a tent site.

      Harbour Pointe RV Park

      Very Clean!

      We did a daily rental and it was great! Close to the lighthouse park. It is pet friendly and has great picnic spots.


    Guide to Ronald

    Pet friendly camping near Ronald, Washington offers options for travelers with smaller pets, typically under 25 pounds. Some parks have breed restrictions to maintain a quiet atmosphere. These campgrounds generally provide walking areas where pets and their owners can enjoy daily exercise routines, with varying trail options depending on the specific location.

    What to do

    Beach exploration: At Fay Bainbridge Park, campers can access a shoreline perfect for wildlife viewing. "Beautiful beach, great views of Mt. Rainier & Baker on a clear day, cruise ships going by," notes Judy J. The park includes a "ship playground for children" that provides additional entertainment beyond beach activities.

    Wildlife viewing: Dosewallips State Park offers excellent opportunities to observe local wildlife. Michael B. explains, "From the campsite we had access to the river and if you are a fisher, there was a nice log you could comfortably sit on at camp that looked down on the water." Amy & Stu B. add, "Every night, my husband and I would walk to the wildlife viewing platform to see lots of birds, or walk down by the river and see lots of elk and bald eagles."

    Hiking trails: Multiple parks feature walking paths suitable for pets and owners. Taylor M. mentions that Fay Bainbridge has "trails [that] provide a natural setting within an otherwise urban location." At Tolt MacDonald Park, visitors will find "hiking trails, access to the water, and plenty of trees to hang your hammock in," according to Dawnielle C.

    What campers like

    Quiet atmosphere: Many pet-friendly campgrounds maintain peaceful environments through size limits and breed restrictions. At Lake Pleasant RV Park, kristin S. found "the grounds are quiet... truly silent... save for the many geese that call the lake in the center of the property their home." This tranquility creates a pleasant setting for both pets and their owners.

    Proximity to supplies: Locations near urban centers offer convenience for pet owners needing supplies. Nikki R. notes that Lake Pleasant RV Park is "only about 30 minutes to downtown, but almost felt like you were out in the country." John M. adds, "Close to Seattle, feels secluded, but you can walk or take a short drive to restaurants, groceries, anything you could want or need."

    Outdoor spaces: Parks with dedicated exercise areas provide essential outlets for pets. Brandon K. describes Fay Bainbridge as having "a ship playground for the kids and beach volleyball court" with campsites that include "water and electric hookup, picnic table, fire pit at each site." These amenities create comfortable spaces for pet owners.

    What you should know

    Pet size restrictions: Most pet-friendly parks near Ronald limit pet size, typically to 25 pounds or less. North Sound Recreational Vehicle Park has a "pet friendly(limit 2) not to exceed 25 lbs. Aggressive breed restrictions apply," according to Chris C., who also notes it's "more of a long-term sort of place."

    Site privacy varies: Some campgrounds offer more separation between sites than others. Kristin S. at Lake Pleasant notes that "while it wasn't a huge amount of space, the trees between spots offered a really nice level of privacy." At Kitsap Memorial, Michael M. cautions, "There's no privacy here. The sites are all right on top of each other."

    Laundry facilities: For extended stays with pets, laundry access becomes important. At Lake Pleasant, cheriana G. mentions "laundry is cheap ($1 wash)" while the staff is "constantly tending to the grounds." Eagle Tree RV Park has laundry that is "the hidden gem. At half the cost of the local laundromats, and with twice the machines."

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for playground access: Dash Point State Park offers family-friendly amenities. Tanya B. recommends it as "Kid friendly" with an "Amazing kids area pirate ship." Brittany D. adds that "this campground is remarkable in the privacy between each of the camping spots, the bird life, the wild and deep forest vibes, and the walking trails."

    Choose camping spots strategically: At Dosewallips State Park, Michael B. advises, "If you are looking for a more tame, less encroached camping experience, the loop that runs along the river is where you want to go." He notes that "Several of the campsites in our loop had decent privacy whereas others were more open and ideal for RVs."

    Consider cabins for pet-friendly comfort: Some parks offer cabins as alternatives to tent camping. At Tolt MacDonald Park, Chris A. shares, "spent a night in the yurt. Everything worked." These structures provide weather protection for pets and families during unpredictable conditions.

    Tips from RVers

    Extended stay options: For longer visits, Eagle Tree RV Park offers monthly rates. One RVer noted, "Eagle Tree has been home during the quarantines and lockdowns. As full time travelers, staying in one campground for more than a few weeks was a scary proposition." They found "the atmosphere and staff here have been great."

    Site leveling: Tolt MacDonald Park receives high marks for level sites. Russ H. notes it's "The only campground we've been to where we didn't need to level the trailer. RV sites are all pull through its fairly quiet."

    Hookup availability: Most pet-friendly RV parks offer full hookups. At Lake Pleasant, terri describes the areas as "paved and level. A great place to walk around and enjoy during your stay," while Dene H. calls it "the nicest park with the best rates close to the Seattle area."
